    If it’s a modern emissions truck, 2010 and newer.
    Total hours on engine, idle hours or percent of total. Fuel burned, average mpg.
    DEF fluid consumed, DEF % of fuel used,
    Number of regens, number of parked regens.

    Average engine load of 80% is a red flag. Makes me think the whole report is a fraud. Your not going to get over 6mpg at that high of engine load.
     
    94coupe Thanks this.

    Good thinking I was told it was a old farmers truck if that might make any difference

    I don’t have any experience with those older MX13’s. All I’ve heard is that they run great once you permanently fix the emission system and tune the ecm.
     
    D.Tibbitt, 94coupe and jsnell Thank this.

    Local trucks will have high idle and what not.

    My truck idles about 40% of the day. Some of that is pump use.
